The Samsung Frame TV has always been about disguising your television as wall art. The 2026 model makes its smartest change yet: dropping the external One Connect box and building all connections directly into the panel.

One Less Box to Hide

Previous Frame TVs routed everything through a separate One Connect box, which itself needed hiding. The 2026 model integrates the connections into the TV, simplifying the clean wall-mounted look the Frame is famous for. It’s a small change that meaningfully improves the core appeal.

Better Glare Handling

New anti-reflection technology helps the Frame look more like a genuine canvas in bright rooms, where earlier models could look glassy. Combined with the matte finish, Art Mode is more convincing than ever.

Picture and Smart Features

As a TV, it delivers solid everyday picture quality and Samsung’s full smart-TV platform with all the major streaming apps. It’s not the brightest panel for a dark-room cinephile, but the Frame was never about that — it’s about looking good on your wall all day.

Who It’s For

The 2026 Frame is for people who care as much about how their TV looks switched off as switched on. If decor matters to you and you’ll actually use Art Mode, it’s a unique proposition. Pure home-theatre buyers should look at Samsung’s other lines.
